Almost lost my wheels !
Wow crazy. Things could have went real bad, luckily they didnt though. It sucks when you have to park your car outside, especially when you have wheels on it. There have been 3 guys on my street who have been left on blocks, so that makes things worst. The car cover might help the situation, but it still might not be enough.

Thanks for all the info and advice. Until I get rid of the pool table the best theft preventer (garaging) is not an option, although I have a friend at work
who had her car stolen from the garage while she slept . They apparently scanned her gargage door opener code.
For now I am : (1) upgading the security lights/switching to constant on mode. (2) Doubling up on the wheel locks since this aparently is what saved me (this time). I have heard there are special tools to break wheel locks, but they make noise , so probably too risky to use in a residential driveway. (3) Going back to putting the car cover on every night (4) Teaching the dogs to bark at strangers ingaged in crimminal activity in the middle of the night, instead of leaves falling off the patio roof in the afternoon

Sorry to hear about that. That sucks I just moved in with my girlfriend in concord. I always leave my g outside too. This is the second incident i heard about wheel thieft in this area and I'm getting really worried about it. Any more suggestions?

^I'm not going to tell you b/c what your sig says in bold... lol
Go buy another set. Not sure if you can get/order as many lock lugs as you want to fit one key. Otherwise, you'll have to have a different key for each set of 4 you buy.
